Question:
The Montreal Protocol.
Answer:
Which international treaty agreement was the basis for Section 608?
Question:
1.Crop losses 2.Increases in eye diseases 3.Skin Cancer 4.Reduced marine life 5.Deforestation
6.Increased ground level ozone
Answer:
Depletion of the ozone in the stratosphere is known to cause what 6 things?
Question:
These atoms attack Ozone Molecules causing the formation of Chlorine Monoxide (CLO), after
colliding with another Ozone Molecule, causes 2 Oxygen (O2) molecules to be made & leaving an
atom of chlorine to act as "Free Agent" starting the process over until 100,000 molecules of Ozone
are destroyed by just one atom of chloride.

What happens when CFC or HCFC molecules get in the stratosphere & free atoms of Chlorine are
set free?
